VIDEO FEATURE: Special Squeaky Sloth

cutest, cuddliest creature on the planet

National Geograpic Emerging Explorer Lucy Cooke, creator of Slothville, is on a one-woman crusade to show the world why some of the most unlovable animals are actually the most interesting and deserving of our attention, study, and protection.

Her new book, The Little Book of Sloth, celebrates the sloth: the cutest, cuddliest, slowest creature on this planet. The sloths featured in the book, and the video above, are lucky residents at the Aviarios Sloth Sanctuary in Costa Rica and the AIUNAU sloth sanctuary in Colombia as well.
